South England has a lot of tennis courts for the population

Is it? Isn't it the most densely populated area in Europe?

Very interesting question, I had to do some research to find out (especially since the Brexit and UK is not included in Eurostat data anymore)

If we look at NL vs England

This map shows the difference, in the NL it's more spread while in England it's focused on the big cities

This has more useful insight than the wrong-data tennis-court trivia! I had no idea England was denser than the Netherlands.
